A character gets his head stuck in a cannon (because stuff like that happened all the time in POGO).

After a great deal of work and general hijinks, the other characters manage to release him.

Whereupon, he says “Excuse me, gents, I forgot my hat”… and STICKS HIS HEAD BACK IN THE CANNON.

You don’t need Jujitsu to beat people like that – just show them the cannon and they jump right in.

Eviscerating Kavanaugh: Sen. Feinstein, have you no sense of decency?

My theory about that, for what it’s worth. It’s just a guess, but here it is.

There were some couples problems, perhaps trust issues, perhaps even intimacy problems, and to explain this she mentioned a bad incident from her teenage years that scarred her in some way. Something like this may have actually happened to her at someone’s hands, and perhaps for whatever reason it did permanently affect her. Not so strange to have mentioned it in couple’s therapy, and for her therapist to write it down.

She did not name any names in the therapy—at least, none were written down by the therapist, not even a first name.

Later, Ford either saw her opportunity to lie and say it was Kavanaugh (ex post facto) or she actually came to believe it must have been Kavanaugh. Either way, she obtained the notes, wrote the letter, and the rest is history.

Of course, it’s also possible she said it back in 2012 just in case Romney won and Kavanaugh was nominated. However, I don’t think so. It’s possible, but too byzantine, and I think my explanation is both simpler and more plausible.

What was going on between her & the Mr that caused this revelation to emerge? AND WHY was this private “couples’ stuff” forwarded to the Ds? Sure…I know Romney could win Kavanaugh could be nominated…this is the stuff of X-files conspiracies…But as skeptical of Ds as I am, I’m not sure I’m going there…yet.

Because really…it didn’t work to deny Justice Thomas a spot among the Supremes…Who in their fevered TDS thought it would work here?

I smell funny business all around that started in one place for one reason but got believed & shared & magnified for other reasons altogether. Like a bad game of “Chinese Whispers” where the end result is far far far off base from what started.

It’s not one thing, it’s everything across the board.

The Dems couldn’t completely scrub her past, something easily done thirty-years ago.

She’d have to be totally crazy to mouth off in Congress come this Monday.

a) Kavanaugh will be confirmed, as was going to happen w/o the unprovable accusation,
b) most of the non-partisan people, including the Dems who do NOT yet have Democrat Derangement Syndrome (aka Trump or Bush DS), will agree it was not fair, it was unjust, to bring this up in this way, and most Americans do NOT like injustice.
c) for men, for Reps, for women who want real men to be available — they will see this excess power of accusation, and will be more likely to vote Rep.

Few change to now vote Dem; many decide Dems aren’t worth voting for; many decide they need to do the work of voting for Reps.

given the way this “testimony” is going to go, i see two violated amendments, which are often violated in cases related to sex, 6 and 14

from 6
In all criminal prosecutions, the accused shall enjoy the right to a speedy and public trial, by an impartial jury of the State and district wherein the crime shall have been committed, which district shall have been previously ascertained by law, and to be informed of the nature and cause of the accusation; to be confronted with the witnesses against him; to have compulsory process for obtaining witnesses in his favor, and to have the Assistance of Counsel for his defence.

from 14
All persons born or naturalized in the United States and subject to the jurisdiction thereof, are citizens of the United States and of the State wherein they reside. No State shall make or enforce any law which shall abridge the privileges or immunities of citizens of the United States; nor shall any State deprive any person of life, liberty, or property, without due process of law; nor deny to any person within its jurisdiction the equal protection of the laws.

will they argue, DC is not a state? prob not

but the games being played in appearance of silliness if not watched will end up changing law forever if appeased.

Dave, dont read this, it has a link to the asian jesus of losers..
obviously your kind of one sided in your edumacation and his CV and ability to talk…

however, on another note The future has taken root in the present

if only someone or some people were perceptive enough, or more sensitive, or more observant, or whatever lets some people notice things, would say something so that wars, and conflicts, and political corners could be avoided, why oh why do they happen.

imagine if everyone was mostly nearsighted
and a farsighted person was born with the vision akin to a hawk

Until whatever those farsighted people notice and see and maybe can articulate registers on the minds of the mentally nearsighted, the farsighted are nuts, conspiracy, annoying, off topic, mansplaining, being a party poop, and probably a hundred other reasons. IF not that, then they are enaged and their points considered not valid because of accepted explanations, etc…

the same is true of people with high IQ.. they don’t necessarily do well
people fantasize that if they were smarter, people would listen to them
[Jordan Peterson – IQ and The Job Market]
[ https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fjs2gPa5sD0 ]

no, the truth is that they listen LESS…
they are suspicions of being tricked or controlled
they cant follow the line, so they cant validate in their heads what is being shown
their responses tend to be passive…

so whatever it is, remains invisible…
until its close enough that even the blind can see,
but sadly, that is often WAY to late…
I had brought it up before…

With that said… i would like to quote Merlin:
Looking at the cake is like looking at the future, until you’ve tasted it what do you really know? And then, of course, it’s too late.

China’s Sea Control Is a Done Deal, ‘Short of War With the U.S.’

“U.S. military aircraft,” came the challenge, delivered in English in a harsh staccato. “You have violated our China sovereignty and infringed on our security and our rights. You need to leave immediately and keep far out.”

Five years ago, this was mostly an arc of underwater atoll populated by tropical fish and turtles. Now Mischief Reef, which is off the Philippine coast but controlled by China, has been filled out and turned into a Chinese military base, complete with radar domes, shelters for surface-to-air missiles and a runway long enough for fighter jets. Six other nearby shoals have been similarly transformed by Chinese dredging.

May, Adm. Philip Davidson sounded a stark warning about Beijing’s power play in a sea through which roughly one-third of global maritime trade flows.

“In short, China is now capable of controlling the South China Sea in all scenarios short of war with the United States,” Davidson said, an assessment that caused some consternation in the Pentagon.
